I've had a very exciting month in September with my Kaszazz business! Some awesome things have happened which makes living my life such a thrill!

I was so excited to be asked to design for the amazing "Young Wisdom" collection that has just been released in October 2015 - I was literally shaking! I'm so glad I accepted the offer, I knew timelines were tough, but I managed to meet the deadline and my projects were chosen to be the featured ones that came with the release!

Then we had our Team Training Days along with the release of our new Catalogue & Project Book on the 19th/20th September. I had more attendees than ever and we had a fantastic day creating stunning projects with the new products. I just love the new paper flowers & leaves!

I also had more lovely ladies join my growing group of consultants and was promoted to a "Senior Team Leader" and received the "Top Recruiter" Award for the month of September! I'll have to go on a shopping spree with the $100 Kaszazz Voucher plus $200 Westfield Voucher!

I really do enjoy what I do and I love being able to share it with so many others - both customers and other consultants.

These are pictures of a few things I've made. The middle card below I only assisted with - it was a great idea by Annastasia. Sorry about the shadow on the right one too - looks much better in real life. Let me know what you think!

Busy week this week - trying to get ready for Craft Alive here in Morwell. It's fantastic that they have decided to make this an annual event as we don't have anything else like this in the area. It's on this Friday, Saturday & Sunday 14th to 16th August, 2015.

Our Kaszazz stand is going to be huge! We'll have a Free Make & Take running all weekend, and lots of stock on hand for sale.

We're also running 2 workshops each day. At 11am you can come and join me to make this mixed media scrapbook page using texture paste, distress paint and black gesso. (Cost $10) Then at 3pm you can join Hollie and create the Spring Flowers Card featuring heat embossing and Dylusions Paints! (Cost $7).

If you'd like to pre-register for them just let me know, otherwise you can book on the day at our stand.

It was so exciting to get the news that we are now selling the Dylusions Paints by Ranger! These paints currently come in 12 vibrant colours and are great for all your paper craft projects!

Here's a little play I had with them - something a bit different for Father's Day, or you could adapt it for another special occasion!

This was created with a 'block technique' using the Dylusions Paints and Mini Ink Blending Tool (which we also now sell). Even the stamping was done with the paints and they give such a crisp image! Just make sure you wash your stamps in water straight away as this paint dries fast and may be hard to get off once dry.

BLOG HOP!

A couple of other Kaszazz Consultants and I have also created a "Blog Hop" to give you inspiration with our latest products. You can follow the link below to Yuna's Blog, who will in turn have a link to the next one in the chain. Enjoy! ﻿

Welcome to my Inspiration Station! Here I hope to share many different project ideas and techniques with you to give you inspiration to create!

If there is something in particular you would like to see please feel free to let me know! You're welcome to comment on my blog to let me know what you think and to share ideas as well.

Firstly I'd like to share a few of the Kaszazz projects that are available for you to make, that I have designed, so please, check them out below!

MT478D Distressed Life's Journey Card

This was the very first project I had published by Kaszazz. I was so honoured that it was chosen to be the Demonstration project for our Team Training Days that are held right across Australia, so there would have been hundreds of consultants make this card!

It uses stamping and distress inks to give an aged, distressed look, along with twine and metal clock & hand embellishments to finish it off.

MT545 - Totally Awesome Boys Card

I had a customer book a FREE Make & Take Demonstration for her and her friends but she wanted ideas suitable for boys around 10-12ish. This is what I came up with!

I sent a picture to my sister as she has boys in this age group and she thought they would love it! The ladies on the night loved making it too, and I have taught it on a number of occasions. I've even done a scrapbook page that matches.

This uses background stamping, ink blending with stencils, creating embellishments with stamping and cutting along with twine and paper clip to finish it off.

MT546 - Early Years Gift Bag

The Early Years Collection was released in September 2014 and we needed a project for our New Products Launch. This is what I came up with.
